BOOK LAUNCH
Great Rock Climbs of the Western Cape – By Tony Lourens
A coffee table publication featuring a selection of 75 world-class traditional climbs in South Africa. A collection of the finest routes across the country’s largest and most mountainous province. It showcases the beauty of our land, the heartbeat of our mountains and the deep history of rock climbing in South Africa – with fascinating tales on each climb, written by prominent climbers, brought to life by captivating images from some of the country’s leading photographers.
The Guidebook comes out as the companion to the coffee table book. A publication that includes all the routes in the big book but in guidebook format – with detailed RDs, topos, diagrams and all the access, approach and descent information you will need to go out and climb these routes.
Both books will be published simultaneously and will yield an unprecedented first in South African mountain literature.
